En intressant diskussion har blossat upp i USA d\u00e4r senaten och Vita Huset har tv\u00e5 skilda \u00e5sikter om vad som menas med\u00a0att vara\u00a0journalist. De \u00e4r \u00f6verens om att en journalist \u00e4r n\u00e5gon som \u00e4gnar sig \u00e5t f\u00f6ljande: “the regular gathering, preparing, collecting, photography, recording, writing, editing, reporting, or publishing of news or information that concerns local, national, or international events or other matters of public interest for dissemination to the public.”<\/p>\n
So far so good! En journalist \u00e4r allts\u00e5 n\u00e5gon som rapporterar om saker via olika medier\u00a0till allm\u00e4nheten. Men Vita Huset har ett intressant till\u00e4gg i sin definition av en journalist. Det \u00e4r en person som g\u00f6r detta under vissa f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar:<\/p>\n
“for a substantial portion of the person’s livelihood or for substantial financial gain and includes a supervisor, employer, parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of such covered person.”<\/p>\n
Har du inte en \u00f6verordnad och erh\u00e5ller betydande inkomster av ditt hantverk s\u00e5 \u00e4r du allts\u00e5 inte journalist! Detta utesluter d\u00e5\u00a0 frilansar, ideella skribenter\u00a0samt bloggare. Kan bloggare vara journalister? Ja, \u00e5tminstone s\u00e5 har bloggare unika m\u00f6jligheter att direkt rapportera fr\u00e5n h\u00e4ndelsernas centrum s\u00e5 som skedde under striderna i Gaza<\/a>. Medan de “riktiga” journalisterna p\u00e5 avst\u00e5nd kunde besk\u00e5da striderna fr\u00e5n en strategiskt bel\u00e4gen kulle rapporterade flera bloggare direkt inifr\u00e5n Gaza. Var de journalister? Ja, enligt den f\u00f6rsta definitionen. Nej, enligt Vita Huset’s till\u00e4gg.<\/p>\n En annan intressant fr\u00e5ga \u00e4r att en bloggare arbetar under helt andra f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar \u00e4n en anst\u00e4lld journalist. N\u00e5got k\u00e4llskydd existerar inte och det \u00e4r fritt fram att efterforska uppgiftsl\u00e4mnare. F\u00f6r att inte tala om att bloggosf\u00e4ren hela tiden levererar information s\u00e5v\u00e4l till allm\u00e4nheten som medierna genom att bloggare kan vara p\u00e5 plats d\u00e4r\u00a0n\u00e5got h\u00e4nder. Inget krav p\u00e5 opartiskhet finns men hur ofta \u00e4r en journalist i vanlig bem\u00e4rkelse totalt neutral i sin rapportering?<\/p>\n N\u00e5gra l\u00e4nkar till bloggare som bloggar fr\u00e5n Gaza:<\/p>\n Sabbah Blog http:\/\/sabbah.biz\/mt\/<\/a> Detta \u00e4r n\u00e5gra exempel p\u00e5 hur bloggare kan f\u00f6rmedla information som \u00e4r otillg\u00e4nglig f\u00f6r vanliga journalister. F\u00e4rgad information i vissa l\u00e4gen, javisst. Men ett nog s\u00e5 viktigt komplement till\u00a0 mediernas \u00f6vriga rapportering. Journalister eller inte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En intressant diskussion har blossat upp i USA d\u00e4r senaten och Vita Huset har tv\u00e5 skilda \u00e5sikter om vad som menas med\u00a0att vara\u00a0journalist.
